Fox News suspends Andrew Napolitano over British spying claim
Washington Examiner ^ | • 3/20/17 8:39 PM | EDDIE SCARRY (@ESCARRY)

Fox News has indefinitely removed contributor Andrew Napolitano from its programming, following an unsubstantiated claim he made on air last week and that was refuted by U.S. intelligence officials, according to a report.

The Los Angeles Times reported Monday that Napolitano has not made any appearances on Fox since last Thursday.

Fox was never our friend. Remember how they treated Trump, all but Hannity.

Your right, that was the night he went to the dark side. I use to like Bret Baier, but no longer. It’s Tucker, Sean, Lou, Judge Janine and Watters, for me, and Fox and friends.

Thanks for the update. Maybe the flack they were catching on social media woke them up a bit.

FWIW, I doubt it. I think the net is either laying low, or trying to rejigger their PR plan. It’s interesting that we haven’t heard from the judge. In any case, they clearly don’t make Murdochs like they used to.

The political establishment pays their salaries.

Many of us were NOT all in for Bush McCain or Romney, but only supported them because of the alternative. Many of these alleged conservative talk hosts supported policies they now claim to be against. Big difference.

Well...many conservative independents did not. The question conservative radio defenders need to ask themselves...did any of these hosts make any meaningful effort to open your eyes during the Bush years?

Back to the issue at hand: why is it that a guy like Nap gets suspended, but Hannity probably never will be?

Hopefully, the Judge is reading Free Republic for support and evidence about what happened with the monitoring/surveillance of Trump, Trump’s people and us!

My reading of that story is that he was not suspended (meaning that he could be back) but he was in essence fired and removed from the network. From the Mediaite report:

Judge Andrew Napolitano, Fox News’ senior judicial analyst, has been pulled from the network, according to a new report out tonight.

I had not heard of this dustup and was a bit surprised when Stuart Varney has "recovering lawyer" Gregg Jarrett on instead of the Judge to comment during the Gorsuch hearing.

What the hell is going on in this country?

Trump is turning it upside down and is pulling the plug on the swamp.

That is making and will make a lot of rats and GOPe’s irrelevant and powerless. Like he has used Twitter to bypass and make the MSM and its mediots irrelevant when he talks to us directly.

We don’t need ABCNNBCBS, Faux news and the print media to tell us what they want us to know re when our President talks to us.

It would be very interesting to be able to listen to the discussions going on in the Brit’s GCHQ and between the GCHQ and 10 Downing Street, the official residence and the office of the British Prime Minister.

GCHQ’s director resigned shortly after Trump’s tweets and the NY Slimes front page appeared re the surveillance of Trump, Trump’s people, Flynn in the TrumpTowerGate scanda.

Of course the former Director of GCHQ wants to spend time with his family and avoid traffic accidents and other nasties that could stop his breathing.

First of two parts and maybe more on the 7+ decades long history of the UK’s spying on our people and us spying on their people...

And, the Brits have been referred to--for at least 200 years--as "Perfidious (treacherous, duplicitous) Albion" ("Albion" is the Celtic name for Britain).

Wow, if Judge Nap was fired, the uniparty/enemedia have really tipped their hand with that move. .

Oh. Like I would believe Comey if he said the sun would rise at dawn.

BTW, his net worth is reportedly approaching $11,000,000. Seems pretty good for a cop, right? He seems so much like the average Guy, am I right?

I wonder how he got that rich? Oh, well, noblesse oblige, right?

Exactly. Trump is using him to his own, and AG Sessions' end at this point, then will ask him to resign. Comey is completely compromised and untrustworthy.
